This product has been my bachelorthesis for a the client: ORBIS WILL GmbH & Co. KG, Ahaus Germany.
The plierproducer and I met each other for the first time, during the last year of my study. For two modules we simulated working for ORBIS where they got to know me, my methods of working within the designprocess, so they knew roughly what they could expect from me, as a designer.
Following this, I've been asked to design a power cutter as my bachelorthesis in september 2011, a cutter complementing the ORBIS WILL EvoLine.
The designprocess inlcuded:
- Research
- Concepting
- Engineering (CAD, FEM)
- Calculation of prices
- Creating a workflow diagram
- Prototyping
- Mock Up
- Sales Promotion (labels and productflyers)
- Animation
This year the presented the finished product to market on the specialized fair: EISENWARENMESSE 2014, Cologne
